Sample Itinerary: Belize

Inner Barrier
Reef and Cayes

There are multiple itinerary options for charters commencing from The
Placencia Resort and Marina in Belize. Dreaming On has prepared two
sample itineraries for our purusal.

The Atoll itinerary heads
north to one of the channels through the barrier reef, to take us to
Turneffe Atoll and Lighthouse Reef. (Click
Here)

The Inner Barrier Reef and Cayes
itinerary takes us in a circle through the inner deep water
channels, amongst the cays with some anchorages just inside the barrier
reef as well as some sailing along the barrier reef. The Belize Barrier
Reef and the many cays inside and atolls outside are famous for their
fantastic diving opportunities. (See below)

All of Dreaming On’s itineraries include great diving opportunities. We
can arrange Rendezvous Diving on request with local, professional dive
organisations for any divers on board. Diving with a local dive
organization, whose Dive Masters dive these waters every day, ensures
that our guests enjoy the best possible diving experience.

INNER BARRIER REEF & CAYES ITINERARY

Day 1

Depart The Placencia Marina on a reach to Rendezvous Island. Great place to snorkel and anchor for the first night.

Day 2

Sail up the inner channel to Blue Ground Range. Then work
our way east through patch reefs to anchor for the night just inside
the barrier reef at South Water Cay. Great snorkeling and rendezvous
diving opportunities here as well as just north at Tobacco Cay and near
Carrie Bow Cay. This is all part of the Belize Marine Reserve. There are
three restaurants on the cay. Guides can also be arranged for flats
fishing.

Day 3

Through the cut in the barrier reef for a down wind sail
along the reef to Gladden Cut. Fish along the way for a chance to catch
Mahi Mahi, Wahoo or Tuna. Anchor inside the reef at Gladden Cut.

Day 4

Sail to Ranguana Cay where there is more snorkeling and an opportunity for a rendezvous dive.

Day 5

A sail north on the inside of the reef will bring us to
the Queen Cays (also known as Silk Cays). There are restaurants on both
Ranguana Cay and Hatchet Cay (near the Queen Cays)

Day 6

A day exploring the local cays with some more snorkeling.

Day 7

After a morning snorkel or rendezvous dive we can sail to
Placencia Village where guests can go ashore and experience a bit of
village life. Placencia’s famous “Main Road” is a 3 foot wide concrete
path meandering through the sand, passing lots of little local shops and
restaurants . A few minutes spent on this “Road” and you will probably
meet everyone in Placencia!
